We are all conservatives here, right? Since that's supposed to be the case, then I want to see each and every one of you join the military. You can select any service that you want; they are all different and offer different challenges and require different skills. So please select from the Navy, Army, Air Force, Marine Corps and the Coast Guard. I will be glad to answer any questions about them that you may have. I've been in the Marine Corps and the Army. I've worked with the Coast Guard, the Navy and the Air Force. I was "in" for 30 years; active duty and reserve. I retired as a major in the Army Reserve.

Now, guys we are all hard chargers aren't we? If you have the guts and a genuine conservative bent, then take the bull by the horns and join up. You will never be the same! Being in the military, especially during a war, is the most exciting endeavor that you will ever undertake. If you are in your 20's you'll still be young when you get out. Or you can stay in for 20 years. If lucky you can stay in for 30, but only senior field grade officers or senior enlisted men get to stay in for 30 years.

If you like technology I suggest that you join the navy; try subs, they are the most exciting. Of course, Naval Aviation is a wild trip! (I earned by "Wings of Gold", and flew fighters for nine years.) The Air Force uses lots of cutting edge technology too, but I've never liked the service much. It's too gentlemenly. You won't even get dirty if you join the Air Force. If you are a jock then join the Marine Corps or the Army. If in the Army go for the Rangers. I joined the Marine Corps and went through their PLC (PLatoon Leader Class) in the early 60's. It was a very wild ride!

I feel profoundly sorry for men who did not join the service. Their lives seem so mundane to me compared to the outlandish and exciting lives that we led in the service. You will never be challenged in civilian life, as a young man, as you will be in the service. You will also be proud of the fact that you didn't "wimp out" when our nation was in a fix.

So, JOIN UP; stop pussy footing around! If not,I want you to stand tall and explain to me why you don't.
